BF_TAR(1)


NAME

  bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to
  stdout


SYNOPSIS

  bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory


DESCRIPTION

  bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it
  to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see EXAMPLES
  below).


OPTIONS

  The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive
  has been written successfully. The default is to leave log files.

  The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive
  is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive is
  recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though.
  The default is to leave log files.


EXIT STATUS

  The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if
  it encountered trouble.


EXAMPLES

  ·  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

     Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from
     ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

  ·  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

     Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from
     ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

  ·  bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

     Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path
     instead of a relative path.


NOTES

  This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

  This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

  This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have
  the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so that
  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
